Hi Don, That's terrific and congratulations on your new appointment. I am having land and property ownership questions concerning Lawrence County in the mid to mid 1800's; specifically from 1840 to 1870. I believe what I am looking for might be available from the OU Library in the Archives and Collections Section under the Lawrence County Tax Duplicates; 1817 to 1890; 33 volume set. I am in Michigan and have not had the chance to get to Athens. My question to you is; Do you know anyone in the Athens area willing to do look-ups or paid research to check these documents for me? Apparently, they have never been microfilmed. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Bruce Bruce Morrison National Sales Manager LEIGHTRONIX, INC.

Like you, I find the lack of activity on the LawCo List disappointing. There is so much history in this area plus there is such a cross-over with so many families having connections with several surrounding WV and KY counties as well as other OH counties, so it would seem this would generate a lot of postings. The gatewayed messages seem to be more frequent on a number of Lists, but I often find that clicking that link and going back and forth is just not to my liking, so it isn't unusual for me to just delete those messages. Not saying that's particularly useful to others or to me, but it does happen. I'd much prefer to see the postings direct to the List. Wish I had a solution to increasing the List activity. I sometimes wonder how many locals are active in the various Gen. societies but not online.

Don you may have already answered this but many of the old records are not in Athens anymore. They have transfered them up to Columbus to the OHS library. > From: bruce@heartlandmedia.com > To: ohlawren@rootsweb.com > Date: Mon, 3 May 2010 15:04:14 -0400 > Subject: Re: [OHLAWREN] List admin update with OGS info > > Hi Don, > > That's terrific and congratulations on your new appointment. > > I am having land and property ownership questions concerning Lawrence County > in the mid to mid 1800's; specifically from 1840 to 1870.
